What happens if you install windows after you have installed Linux it
copies over the mbr.
What you have to do is use the Linux boot disk you made when you
installed Linux boot into Linux and reinstall Grub/Lilo into the mbr..
to reinstall grub type as root
>/usr/sbin/grub-install or just >grub-install
to reinstall lilo type
>lilo
you might need to edit the config files for either but I doubt it
PS method for installing windows and Linux (for me anyway) is
1.Partition hardisk (you don't have to break up the Linux partition the
installer will do this)
2 Install windows
3 Install Linux
